Computer, if you don't open that exit hatch this moment, I shall go straight to your major data banks with a very large axe and give you a reprogramming you'll never forget. Is that clear?
That would sure help adoption of HTML5 content on the Web. The real world uses H.264/AAC, not Theora/Vorbis.
Well, that, and having Microsoft, Mozilla and Opera actually support the damn thing. AFAIK only Safari supports HTML5 media. Not that I have made any search about it, mind you. This is slashdot, after all.
Is there something that prevents plain AAC, WAV, AIFF, OGG, FLAC or other common audio file formats to be freely downloaded, shared by email, shared through P2P file sharing and even 'remixed'?
Technically speaking, of course... I'm not talking about any legal/moral ramifications if the file has copyrighted/top secret/whatever contents.
Yes, starting and stopping Word as fast as a memory swap.
You start the new one, then you copy the state from the old to the new, pass control to the new, stop the old one.
The user keeps working while the new one loads, like if you were working in Word and then started Excel. It doesn't prevent you from working in Word (at least in theory, I have no idea as I don't use Microsoft Office).

Ask any Canadian if cold can kill batteries.
Hint: it does.
Install something else over Mac OS X and only buy music (which are now all DRM-free, but not movies and TV shows).
There, all FOSS and no DRM.
(I know you were aiming for funny, but still)
I think you missed the many times that Sony's batteries were the cause of problems. That wasn't a single isolated case.
If I accelerate to 97 km/h in 3.7 seconds, I most likely will hit the car in front of me and/or get a ticket for reckless driving.
If I go at 201 km/h, I'll also get a ticket for speeding.
Even though I'd like my next car to be an electric one, acceleration and top speed aren't the reasons for it.
As long as their they don't get batteries from Sony, I think we'll be fine.
Flash is not an audio/video CODEC. People only use Flash as a playback program for the media files.
You have a washing machine in your pants?
The new STEREO spacecraft is an improved version of MONO. The next spacecraft, scheduled to be released in 10 years, will be called SURROUND.
Sorry, I'll be here all week.
And then post links to that on FaceBook, mySpace, myBook, FaceSpace and BookFace, or whatever the hell they're called.
Nope, the crappy part is close to you, because my download started at around 5 KB/sec and is now steady at around 8 KB/sec.
Your download speed of 0.0875 KB/sec is sad to say the least. ;)

It's just a preemptive strike.
Just move to Canada. Our smoke detectors use radioactive canadicium instead.

You can't give access to some unknown users and block access to some other unknown users.
Confusing if not impossible for people who don't use the website language as their native one.
Also, won't somebody think of the rednecks? (cue "They took our jobs" guys from South Park. I bet they say words differently than you, for example)
Oh damnit Slashdot, get into the 21st century and support UTF-8 already.
That was supposed to be:
lapin, lièvre.
I had to use the è HTML entity to pass my accented character.
lapin, liÃvre.
Since when are we supposed to read the articles?
What do you mean, an african or european ass?
I bet this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Apple updated their Xserve yesterday with an SSD option.
From what I understand, the SSD is for the OS itself and not the data/storage.
You already have one.
